Part III - Truth, Justice and the American Way
The mid nineties into the new millennium

Skip ahead some more, and I'm 30-something and now I live in the San Francisco bay area. This is me with my pal Ingvar (Pingo, Pingu, Dudde, The Dudd) (that's him in red). Actually, it could also be Rick Astley - the British guy that had a video standing out in the snow singing "when I fall in love with you..".. and some other crappy hit in the mid 80's. I'm not sure, they look the same. Anyway, this was a couple of years ago when I still had long hair. I cut it off some time back.

Hey, I just realized I've got a "Buzz Lightyear" wristwatch on this picture. I rule!

Here's another one of me, this time enjoying the view from a high place in New York. Funny place. Fake sunshine and motion blur from the left doesn't make the place a bit less interesting.

Here I am behind bars at the rock. Good grief, I'm... like.. inverted! Just like that episode of the original Star Trek when the evil guy inverts the cosmos and this other guy is hunting him and ends up spending eternity fighting..... ehh.... never mind.

This is the view from my balcony. In the background you can see a little piece of San Francisco, and the hill to the right is Sausalito.

I don't know who these people in the foreground are. They showed up one day at my door and I let them in. They took full possession of my office and drank all my scotch and tequila and it took me a full two weeks before I could get rid of them. I think they called each other Fredde and Ullen, but that might have meant anything for all I know. Actually tracing back, there is a slight resemble between this Fredde and my buddy Fredde from my early years...

Here are two pictures from the wedding of two of my best friends - Michael & Kajsa. This is in July of '99 on an island in the middle of some big Swedish lake (I forgot which one). It's pretty late - about 5am in the morning - and while I'm not sure what we're discussing, since it's Anders and I, the subject is pretty much constrained to computers, cars, single malt scotch or chicks.

Okay, the day after the above mentioned party we had to get home somehow. Needless to say it wasn't as fun as the party itself.... Steven in front looking just like I feel - me lying down with sunglasses and an industrial strength hangover.

Here's Me, Conrad and Mats at Heavenly in Tahoe in February 02. The next day I fell and broke my right wrist... had to spend five weeks as a left handed. But it was worth it - snowboarding is sweet!

This is San Francisco seen from Tiburon. Best place on earth, or so they say.
